Our Proactive Approach
PRE-MARKET PREP
- Get PRE APPROVED. It is highly recommended for you to get pre-approved up front so that you understand financing options, cost of ownership, closing costs, and what payments you will be looking at within your p range. With this information you can make the best informed decisions for you and your family.
- Meet with Theo and go over criteria/goals. Set expectations on communication, scheduling and how to present at Open Houses in a competitive marketplace.
- Set up an MLS home search after our meeting
ACTIVE SEARCHING
- View Properties by private showing or visiting open houses
- Select property: Analyze most-relevant comparable sales
- Offers are always accompanied by a pre approval letter as well as a check that is written to the listing Brokerage with the address in the memo. Each listing may also have other documentation such as Lead Property disclosures, Seller's Property Statement of condition, Inclusion/Exclusion lists, etc.

POST OFFER ACCEPTANCE
- Offer Accepted! Deliver your first check for deposit. Schedule home inspection (if applicable) and formally hire Attorneys to work on your P&S agreement. Start your formal mortgage application.
- Purchase and Sale: The "P&S" is a second, more-binding contract. The P&S is signed after the "due diligence period between when the first contract to purchase is signed and the P&S date specified on the contract. Many P&S agreements will be accompanied by a "second deposit, that is a larger down payment" that will go into the Sellers Brokerage account in escrow until closing.
- Financing. At this point an appraisal will be scheduled by your lender. The appraisal is meant for the bank to evaluate the value of the property so that they can confidently deliver the loan. Meanwhile, you will be working on your mortgage application with the lender team to ensure that you can obtain the mortgage.
- Find a Mover! At this stage, you will also want to start looking into professional moving companies. You will want to notify the utility companies (I will provide a list) that you are going to be moving into the residence as well as the post office.
- Closing Date! Before closing we will do a final walk through of the home either the day before or morning of. For closing, Bring ID (two forms) and a check just in case. NEVER, transfer or wire money without confirming the instructions vocally by phone!
